Hammered 7-1 last week in the First Division, Athlone Town should be a different proposition this week.

That's the view of Cork City boss John Caulfield, who notes that centre-backs Cormac Raftery and David Brookes, midfielder Niall Scullion and strikers Enda Curran and Stephen Walsh didn't play in the midlands derby against Longford Town.

"They didn't have those players who have played in the Premier Division for Galway and Derry City," Caulfield said.
